The PlasticSCM GUI does not allow you to edit the paths of Workspaces (you can either rename a workspace or delete edit; no other editing options are available).
Luckily you can do this by hand editing the configuration files in %LocalAppData%\plastic4, though this is largely undocumented
Some of those configuration files are explained in [WayBack] Configuration files – Installation and configuration – Plastic SCM Community, but plastic.workspaces is not, so here are the steps:

I’ve added this to my ~/.bashrc to stuff installed by pip install --user is accessible from interactive shells:
# set PATH so it includes user's private python "pip --user" bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/.local/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin"
fi
The addition is at the end of the path. It is a choice: it means machine installs take prevalence over user installs. That’s usually what I want. For more considerations (including non-interactive shells), see [WayBack] bash – How to correctly add a path to PATH? – Unix & Linux Stack Exchange.
The --user installs do not affect the full system, nor other users.
Further reading:
--user installs in site.USER_BASE which luckily is the same for Python 3 and Python 2: [WayBack] Python 3 site.USER_BASE, [WayBack] Python 2 site.USER_BASEvenv, virtualenv, easy_install, easy_build, pip install --user and such as even this SO question has inconclusive answers: [WayBack] What’s the proper way to install pip, virtualenv, and distribute for Python? – Stack Overflow–jeroen

This is part of a bash alias where I had to use quadruple backslash in order to escape it for sed:
# The sed with quad //// is to prevent 'unterminated substitute in regular expression':
alias x='... | sed "s/=.*/ \\\\/"'
This is needed because bash will escape \\\\ into \\ which sed then escapes to \.
The easiest way to find this is to replace the sed with echo to see the expansion.

Cool:
use command:
fsutil hardlink list MyFileName.txtIt lists all hardlinks to file with name MyFileName.txt.
Source: [WayBack] hardlink – How can I find hard links on Windows? – Super User
More information at [WayBack] Fsutil hardlink | Microsoft Docs on
fsutil hardlink create <NewFileName> <ExistingFileName>
fsutil hardlink list <Filename>

For a really nice overview of most basic and intermediate usage of ssh, read [WayBack] SSH Essentials: Working with SSH Servers, Clients, and Keys | DigitalOcean.
It is large (printed to PDF it is 30+ pages in either A4 or Letter format) but well worth reading as it covers a lot in manageable bits.
Does it mean I won’t write about ssh again?
I will continue, as most of my blog posts are relatively short highlighting a small thing at a time (that is how I learn best, hopefully some of you do as well).
It does not explain really advanced stuff (like ProxyCommand), so here is a start of things I want to learn more about:
~/.ssh/config file with Host entries.
Too many authentication failures:
nc is not needed, so disregard the examples promoting it–jeroen

If you want to harden your ssh server, read at least [WayBack] sshd_config – How to configure the OpenSSH server | SSH.COM.
After that use some ssh tools to check your config from the outside world. They work in a similar way as the TLS/SSL/https scans from Source: SSL Server Test (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs) or these console based scans and documentation references:
Simiarly for SSH:
Then read further on more in depth SSH topics around key management:

The Terminal on Mac OS X / OS X / MacOS is very much like a Linux terminal, but there are also a lot of differences especially with keyboard, tab and process handling.
So this chapter is very much wort reading: [WayBack] 1. Inside the Terminal – Mac OS X For Unix Geeks, 4th Edition [Book]
